Humm was a late bloomer who did not make her national team debut until the age of 26. In contrast to most of her international teammates she decided to remain an amateur footballer. She has often played as a full-back for Switzerland, as her preferred attacking positions were taken. Humm has also represented Switzerland at beach soccer, where she became an expert at the overhead kick.[3]

At the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup, Humm scored the fastest hat-trick in FIFA Women's World Cup history. She struck three goals in five minutes in Switzerland's 10–1 drubbing of Ecuador.[4]
